Product Description
Meet Georgia Brown-a humble housewife determined to become a household name....

After eleven years of marriage, Georgia Brown is fed up with her husband, Marvin, a popular radio personality. It's not just because she suspects he's having an affair, or because she's suddenly expected to raise his thirteen-year-old daughter, Chloe-whom she never even knew existed. It's because of the comments he makes about her weight, their marriage, and their sex life...on national radio!

Now, to save their marriage, Marvin invites Georgia to the station for an on-air rebuttal, having no idea it will launch her career. Or that what began as a battle at home will now be a blistering war for all to hear....

Borrow this book from someone

I borrowed this book from a coworker and it was ''okay''. I definitely read better books. It took me well over a week to read this book, normally I read a book within 2-3 days.I couldn't get into it.

Inspiring

This was a very inspiring book. What I like most about the story was the goodness of Georgia all the way through. She did not exert revenge against Marvin (what usually happens), she was the bigger person. Doing the right thing does pay off. I was so encouraged to continue to dream and know that dreams does come true.

Unexpectedly his thirteen year old daughter Chloe, whom Georgia never knew existed shows up and is left to be taken care of.

Sick and tired of being sick and tired of the lies, cheating, and not being the man she fell in love with. Georgia is invited to the station for an on air tell all response, not knowing she is about to blow up in radio that will put Marvin to shame and Sweet Georgia Brown becoming a household name.

Sweet Georgia Brown is a beautiful story about a woman taking control of her life after being taken for granted. It was a very easy read and exceptionally well written. The characters was very believable and makes you feel like your right there in the story. The story has some teary moments and also laughing moments as well. Makes you put some things in prospective, if you are going through a similar situation. Kudos Mrs. Robinson.....

Made Me Think About My Own Dreams

Things aren't going very well for Georgia and Marvin Brown when the story begins, and to have to put up with Marvin's dad, because they're living in his house, isn't helping their situation one bit. But Marvin, who has a heart to make people laugh, isn't giving up on his dream of becoming a successful comedian, and his wife, Georgia, is doing all she can to support him. Things get better for this couple, but then everything changes... And then, there's Corliss, a thirty-one year old single mother with a story of her own.
This is the first book I read by Cheryl Robinson. I decided to purchase it when I read one of her blog posts where she mentioned that she envisioned T.D. Jakes when she wrote the church scene in the first chapter. She also mentioned that Georgia Brown was a spiritual woman. Knowing these things, it's not like I was expecting this story to read exactly like Christian fiction, but I didn't think there would be so much profanity and numerous detailed sex scenes. I have read many novels with that content, but my tastes have changed through the years, and I'm not into them anymore. When I saw the first line in this story, my first thought was to close the book and move on to another one, but then I figured that if the author listens to the teachings of T.D. Jakes there had to be a positive message somewhere in this story, so I gave it a chance (skipping the sex scenes and doing my best to overlook the s*** and f*** words, which I cannot stand), and I'm glad I did. All in all, this was a good read that made me laugh at times, and the positive message was certainly there. By the end of the story I was thinking about my own dreams and goals.
